When the concept of suicide was first introduced to me, I thought it was stupid. Like people going through breakups or like have slight stuggles in life and end their lives. I was like 8-12 or something like that, and I remember thinking like: what an idiot, especially if its like a famous person with money. My mom who told me about some famous celebrity jumping off a building in an apprant suicide and my mom suggested a conspiracy theory of someone actually pushing them off the building like a mob hitjob or some shit.
Then...
I got depression...
I understand it now...
People who never have depression will never truely understand, truely feel it...
When I thought about suicide as a kid, it was always school-shooting type scenarios. Like I'm going to go out, but I'm taking a bunch of these mother fuckers with me. Then I got older, recognized or developed a more pure depression and realized that I was being stupid. If I decide to check out, I'll do it with the least impact on the world.
